Test Right continues to go above and beyond what is expected in their industry
CHEMAINUS – The work of Wayne Margetts and his deeply talented team is truly impressive, from lifting the Bastion Street bridge in Nanaimo, to picking up the irreplaceable 70,000-pound Pachena Point Lighthouse built in 1908 for repairs.
Test Right Rigging genuinely defies gravity.
Test Right serves customers on Vancouver Island, throughout BC and beyond
Incorporated in 1997 by Wayne and wife Susan Margetts, today they have six team members, including their son Garrett Margetts, making it a true family business. Garrett’s enthusiasm and work ethic have expanded Test Right Rigging, his fresh outlook keeping the business moving forward with new technology and ideas.
Today the company is well known in rigging circles. Located in the lovely town of Chemainus, Test Right Rigging serves Vancouver Island and all of BC, as well as shipping across the world for various industries in Africa, Russia, Australia and more.
“What sets us apart is our continued efforts to go beyond what is needed in the industry,” explains Wayne. “Our motto is ‘We defy Gravity’. We don’t just sell rigging, we also make it for all facets of industry, designing and perfecting new inventions, and offering training for those needing upgrades, or wishing to learn the basics of making their worksites safer.”
Test Right has five test benches, some mobile, making it easy for companies to have their rigging inspected and tested on the spot, as well maintaining a bench capable of an astounding million-pound testing capability for big jobs. They also have the ability and know-how to manufacture test benches, making them a truly full-service business.
Test Right also offers crane services, ranging from 125-ton and 230 feet of boom, all the way down to 7-ton with 45 feet of boom
Test Right produces rigging and below-the-hook lifting devices for all applications, manufacture longlines for helicopter firefighting and various other applications, as well as numerous additional specialty niches. They offer jack-and-roll jobs with their six-million-pound jacking gear, mobile cable reeler and brake stands, high angle work for putting in suspension bridges and rock scaling.
Describes Wayne, “We also offer crane services with our 125-ton crane with 230 feet of boom down to our seven ton Crane with 45 feet of boom.”
Test Right Rigging has worked very hard to expand their business over the last twenty-four years, and credit a substantial portion of their success to their excellent vendors. This includes Xtend Rentals going above and beyond to help get the equipment Test Right needs for their specialized jobs, West Coast Helicopters for getting them and their gear to remote places safely and on time, and Kebouw Cranes for support with tandem lifts, highly trained crane operators and state-of-the-art machines, just to name a few.
Says Wayne, “We are proud of what we have accomplished over the years, and look forward to our future being even better. We will continue to build on our niche markets while also improving our rigging for our customers. We eventually plan to have a 1400 ton press up and running and a polyround machine, as well as expanding our ability to supply our customers with what they need in a timely fashion. We look forward to a bright future for us all.”
